Division Two

O'Connell's 1-18 St. Fechin's 0-11

Robert Quigley struck 0-10 as O'Connell's recorded their third straight league victory at the Grove against St. Fechin's on Tuesday night.

Paul Gallagher's side led 0-9 to seven at the interval, however, a powerful second-half showing saw them rattle in a further 1-9 with Emmet Byrne scoring the major.

The opening-half saw the winners open-up a four-point gap by the first-quarter mark with Quigley, Dean Corrigan and Stuart Osborne raising white flags. Brian Devlin and Ronan Holcroft offered a response for the Hoops.

Quigley and Holcroft were locked in a shoot-out before the break as the second-half promised to be a close encounter. How wrong this assumption was though as O'Connell's stretched the gap to nine with points from Conlon and Quigley along with Byrne's goal.

From there, the encounter was a formality with O'Connell's moving themselves onto six-points in the standings.
